The acquisition of the massive (2.17 m) diagonal left-hander, the second tallest volleyball player in the world and the tallest in the history of the Greek league, is undoubtedly the largest transfer in the history of Athlos Orestiadas and one of the largest in the history of Greek volleyball.

Last season he started in the French Tourcoing, with which he finished 4th in the LNV Ligue.

A member of the Brazil national team since 2013, Renan impressed on his debut by winning the gold medal at the 2009 FIVB U21 World Championships at the age of 19. He then went on to win a silver medal at the 2014 World Championships, a.o Gold medal at the 2017 World Grand Champions Cup, a silver medal at the World League, a host of other titles and accolades in the Americas competitions, as well as top individual honors, both in the Brazilian league (top scorer in the 2021/2022 Brazilian Super League) and a diagonal lead in international Playing “with the national emblem”

The tall athlete in size and talent, impressive in attack (3.80m) and very effective in blocks (3.45m) is expected to make a difference in the Greek volleyball league and our club’s main focus this year will help to achieve its ambitious goals.
